Exodus 40:29

⁶“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

¹He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits,^[+] its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits. ²He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. ³He made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze. ⁴He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. ⁵He cast four rings for the four corners of bronze grating, to be places for the poles. ⁶He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

⁵Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”⁶So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

¹²nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁰We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

¹“You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits^[+] and five cubits wide. The altar shall be square. Its height shall be three cubits.^2[+] You shall make its horns on its four corners. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. You shall overlay it with bronze. ³You shall make its pots to take away its ashes; and its shovels, its basins, its meat hooks, and its fire pans. You shall make all its vessels of bronze. ⁴You shall make a grating for it of network of bronze. On the net you shall make four bronze rings in its four corners. ⁵You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar. ⁶You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when carrying it. ⁸You shall make it hollow with planks. They shall make it as it has been shown you on the mountain.

³⁸“Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. ³⁹The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening; ⁴⁰and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah^[+] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin^[+] of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. ⁴¹The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning and according to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD. ⁴²It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you. ⁴³There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory. ⁴⁴I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar. I will also sanctify Aaron and his sons to minister to me in the priest’s office. ⁴⁵I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. ⁴⁶They shall know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.

²⁴being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice^[+] through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance; ²⁶to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

¹⁹You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
